Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to easily lift the fudge out later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes in total.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer using a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the fudge with chopped nuts and gently press them into the surface to adhere.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into 16 squares.
For an optional finishing touch, lightly dust the tops of the fudge squares with cocoa powder before serving.
Serve immediately or store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
